As a cloud/data protection admin
enable data protection for new
blueprints
The goal of this module is to show you as a cloud/data protection administrator how easy it is to enable data protection for new blueprints in vRA.
This way users can manage their own data protection during provisioning as new applications are available and new tenants are created.
